No iMessage notifications when Mac is on

[swwack91]

hi everyone,

I recently updated my Mac to Sierra. Since this update, I've noticed that I'm not getting push notifications to my iPhone or Apple Watch when my Mac is on. It's as if the Mac gets the notifcation and silences it on all my other devices.

I don't notice messages come in until I look at my iPhone home screen.

Are there any settings to prevent this behavior? I want my watch to notify my any time I get an iMessage whether I'm at my Mac or not.

It seems like I used to see this behavior...Message notifications on my iPhone not coming through when Messages on my Mac was open and in front. It also seems like this behavior stopped when I updated the iPhone to iOS 10.

My iPhone is running the latest iOS 10. This is the case for me even when Messages is quit on my Mac.
